More details, and pointers to the music are here.

Our playing at the Boston Wort
Processors Pignic was well-received. Ishmael, Jan, and I
played Susato, country dances, Ortiz and van Eyck.
The Wakefield Summer Band, with Laura Conrad on tuba, will be
playing its first concert this Friday, July 1, at 7 PM at the
bandstand on the Wakefield Common, as the sun sets over Lake
Quannapowitt. Come kick off the Fourth of July weekend with
marches, polkas, and concert staples. Other concerts this season
are scheduled for July 22, August 12, and August 26.
We played:
We will not be meeting on June 14. Go to the King’s
Singers concert instead.
We will resume our regular dropin meetings the following week,
and will be meeting on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place.
Anne forgot to mention the following on Tuesday, and asked me
to pass it on:
Convivium Musicum will be singing the BU Marsh Chapel service this Sunday.
This is always just an hour between 11AM & noon, always broadcast live on
WBUR, 90.9FM. We will sing the service music which includes pieces by
Charles Villiers Stanford & John Rutter, a famous shape note tune arr. by
Alice Parker, a Monteverdi Kyrie, Richard Farrant’s “Call to Remembrance”,
& two Victoria & Guerrero motets from our current “Armada” concert.
Of course there are more events than anyone is going to be able
to go to next week. I have written up some of my suggestions on
my
blog.
If anyone wants to blog about their own experiences at BEMF,
they can either have an account on laymusic.org and write posts
directly, or comment on my posts, or email me your comments and I
will post them and credit you as the author.
We played:
Next week we expect to finish playing through both the Holborn
(about 5 more) and the Morley Canzonets for three voices (2
more). If you have a copy of Holborne and are coming, please
remember to bring it. I am attempting to print another guest copy
(last week we needed two and had one, although there were no real
guests), but I may not manage it.
The following week, June 14, will be the Boston Early Music Festival. I’ll
be going to the King’s
Singers Concert, so we won’t be rehearsing.
After that, I don’t know of any reason to not have regular
dropin rehearsals for a while on Tuesdays at 7:45 PM at my place.
There’s a performance opportunity at the Boston Wort Processors Pig Roast on
Sunday, June 26. The festivities start at 1 or 2 PM, so we’d
probably play mid to late afternoon. Let me know if you want to
come — I’ll have to sign you up as my guest a few days before the
event.
We’ve talked about having a party some time after BEMF, so we
can advertise it on the back of the flyer. I haven’t heard a lot
of people say they want to do this, or tell me when they can. If
I still haven’t heard more enthusiasm by the end of this week, I
won’t bother scheduling it.
We played:
As far as I know, we’ll be having dropin meetings on Tuesdays
as usual (7:45 PM, my place) until the week of BEMF (June 14), when we will not be
meeting.
We have finished with the Hoffman for the time being.
We have only about 8 more Holbornes to read through, and 2 or
three Morleys. So we may well finish the “helping Laura publish”
mission for this Spring, and be able to get back to playing
whatever we want. Although I’ll soon be doing more transcribing
for John Tyson’s improv class, which we’ll want to play.

We didn’t get far enough to make a recording last night in 45
minutes, so we will have another session on the Gilgamesh
Cantata. Let me know if you’re interested in coming and I can send you
your part, and a pointer to the recording of what we did last
night.
We still have lots of Holborne we haven’t played yet, so we
will be doing some of that, too.
On Saturday, May 21, the John Tyson student recital will happen
at 2 PM in Lindsay Chapel, First
Church of Cambridge,, 11 Garden St. I’m going to be
playing ricercadas by Diego
Ortiz, accompanied by internationally reknowned clavichord
player Judith
Conrad on Baby.
Several people have recommended the Convivium Musicum concert,
which will be this Saturday, May 21, at 8 PM at the Cambridge
Friends Meeting House, or on Sunday in Salem.
I will again be blogging from the Boston Early Music Festival.
Last time, one of the most popular posts
was one I did before the festival, listing concert dates and
times of the fringe events our friends were playing in.
So please send me information about any event you think the
people on this list should know about. It’s a fair amount of
work putting together a post like this, so it helps me if you
send a brief description including all of who, what, when,
where, why, and links to anywhere more information is available,
such as the website of the group, or directions to the venu.
